>Description:

	Distfiles survey is reporting a whole bunch of failures
	for the sunsite (now metalab) mirror at

	ftp://ftp.funet.fi:/pub/mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/...

>How-To-Repeat:

	Look at the distfiles survey for x11-clocks/bclock for
	one example.

>Fix:

	Looking on ftp.funet.fi, the /pub/mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/
	directory is essentially empty, and /pub/mirrors/metalab.unc.edu/
	doesn't appear to be accessible (wrong permissions on the
	directory).

	One possible fix is the patch below, which substitutes
	ftp.funet.fi for our very own ftp.cdrom.com (which appears to
	have an up-to-date mirror of metalab.unc.edu)

	It's possibly worth adding in a few more mirror sites, especially
	for those on the other side of the pond to reduce
	trans-atlantic (and, indeed, trans-pacific) traffic, but I have
	no idea what would be 'good' sites to use in this case.
